Chef RUTHLESSLY Reviews TikTok Food Trends

[@Yazanov]

I don't usually comment on videos but I wanna say that I appreciate the rate you are releasing videos at! The videos always give out a cozy feeling, and you managed to have a brand where the viewer feels like he is chilling with their friend group. Well done!

[@Johnny-xu7kb]

agree. Been watching the channel for years, and i bloody hate cooking :D

[@youknowwho9247]

​@@SortedFoodI agree with the relaxation aspect. However, there's a health warning missing in this particular video: The insides of tins are coated with a material that keeps the food from taking on a metal taste. That (toxic) coating will "melt" and leak into the food when heated up above a certain temperature. Not immediately lethal or anything, just something to be aware of that should have been mentioned, I think.

I mean they do have a huge team behind them these days? so it's certainly got help the original four.

i feel like Ben has been saying "Tinned Fish is making a comeback" for like 8 years now.

[@nerodia]

It's been a slow comeback but I definitely have noticed. Including on the store shelves, better selection and more premium options. I love it, various flavors of tinned mackerel steaks have become one of my pantry staples.

[@최지원-z8j]

Hwachae does go back to the age told in the video, but as people didn't have access to ice as mentioned, it was just flower/fruit/vegetables soaked in cold river water. It's also an old-school go-to snack in bars cos its cold and sweet countered well to the alcohol. A famous household recipe includes a watermelon cut in half with all the inside scraped out to be mixed again in the bowl of watermelon peel with the rest of the ingredients.

[@lovebean_1026]

Yes, my family always adds watermelon. Hwachae is always best on a really hot day.

[@gateauxgato]

Talking with your mouth full with elbows on the table is no longer considered rude - but people DO frown upon vaping and phones at the table..... I guess you're just 80+ years old or living in the past. Its 2024.

SLURPING IS NOT PART OF KOREAN CULTURE! It's just for more sound effect by creators these days, but it is and never was a polite thing to do. Very misunderstood in the mixture of various Asian cultures. It's rather considered as filthy as chewing with mouth open.

[@brockolee0815]

I know slurping only from japan. It is sort of helpful to cool down the noodles in ramen (people there told me "eat before it cools down too much") and you get more flavour out of it. But it refers mostly to soups and such stuff...

[@mattirad]

That's crazy that "toilet paper tinned fish" is a trend! My country has a mandatory military service and field rations are all tinned food - including tinned tuna. It's super super common to soak toilet paper in the oil of the tuna and let it almost fry the tuna in its own oil. Especially in the winter when you just want something tasty and warm. I have friends that still do it as civilians because they like the taste! Personally I would let it burn until there isnt any more fuel because it will always be consistently cooked through and I feel a miniscule more healthier because most of the oil has burnt off

[@MsBasketballmaster]

Exactly what I wrote!

[@MumrikDK]

If you're surviving, that oil is fuel for you too, but otherwise sure.

[@Jay_Wolfe]

No, slurping ramen is not a sign of respect and this myth has been debunked countless times over the years. It's done because ramen is incredibly hot, it's a fast food, ramen restaurants are incredibly busy, the owners want you to eat and get out as fast as possible because of limited space. Slurping allows you to eat hot ramen fast.

[@Macabri_2k10]

canned food should never be heated by a flame, only in a waterbath. Cans have a polymer coating on the inside to prevent the food from tasting like metal, which will leech into the food when heated to high heat like with a flame.

The eating ASMR is not for me, but it is just a small part of the whole ASMR community. Same goes for the unintelligible whispering videos, just not my thing. But back with the fizzy milk, this is a staple at many parties in the midwest US, is to take a lime or strawberry sherbet (but it must be just one flavor only) and then put the whole container in a punch bowl with sprite or other lemon lime soda. It gets even better as the sherbet melts as well.

[@AronSajavaara]

Weirdly enough, that fish wick thingy was something we used to do during live-fire exercises during my time in the Finnish military a few years back.

Regarding "fizzy milk". There is a drink I remember fondly as a kid in New York, USA, called the "Egg Cream". It's a simple drink: milk, unflavored seltzer, chocolate syrup. In a tall glass, preferably chilled. Syrup goes in the bottom, then your desired quantity of milk, mix it a little, then add seltzer. While adding seltzer, vigorously "whip" the drink with a spoon. The end result is a slightly carbonated, chocolatey milk drink with a frothy head. Hershey's Chocolate Syrup is the go-to, but when I was a kid I remember my mom making it with Fox's U-Bet as well. The drink was even featured in an episode of The West Wing, in which the US president marvels at the creation but is dismayed that it comes from Brooklyn and not his native New Hampshire. I occasionally still find myself picking up some seltzer to make one at home, more than 40 years later. Pro tip: "flavored" seltzers like the super cheap 1 liter bottles of Polar you get at the grocery store also work great. I like Orange or Black Cherry. The two requirements are 1) no skim milk, and 2) fresh seltzer only. If there's no fizz you've just made watery chocolate milk.

I am not religious…but I am French! When you started talking about rice paper “croissants” and went on to make them, I actually involuntarily made the sign of the cross🫣🫣🫣 Unfortunately, I was still breathing when you started to bite into them - there was no escaping this travesty😱

[@oobiies]

I just wanna leave a comment to counteract the majority of people hating on ASMR - its perfectly okay not to like it, but please do not shame and make fun of people who listen to it. It helps so many people sleep, relax and improves their overall mental health! :) (fun fact: most people experienced ASMR in their lives before but just did not know what to call that feeling 😉)

[@harmonic5107]

I am extremely disappointed in the community. I understand not liking it. But the amount of people spreading actual hatred and malace is just so disheartening.

Like the tin fish fire, in 1970's Canada, we had a BBQ that was cone shaped about 2' tall & collapsed into one 6" high ring. It cooked hamburgers by using crumpled up newspaper & the fat from the cooking burgers. My parents took it with us when we went camping. As long as you had burgers, you could also cook some hot dogs too.

[@awmperry]

Not a trend, but something I got hooked on when I lived in South Africa: ostrich burgers with bacon and a slice of grilled pineapple. Ostrich is very much like really lean beef, but quite gamey - which pairs well with fruity flavours. The sale and smokiness of (streaky) bacon adds to the meatiness, while the pineapple gives a burst of sweet, tart fruitiness. A splash of cider vinegar on it really sets it off, in my view. For bonus points, serve with chips, onion rings and mushrooms.

[@celticphoenix2579]

You just made me want an ostrich burger as described but with mushroom sauce (think Spur pineapple burger but with ostrich and bacon) for Braai Day tomorrow.

I am pretty sure, that the last one, my dad told me that they would do it in the battlefield with with tuna and meatloaf. and it was 40ish years ago

If there is methanol in your booze for the rice to capture, switch your brand.

[@Randomonity]

I might try cutting the rice paper before soaking, seems like that would make things a little less messy. I'd also try rolling them over a greased cylindrical form (akin to cannoli) and removing it partway through baking, to ensure the entire "pastry" is cooked through, could even pipe in some filling then!

Thank you for saying Eggy Bread as well as French Toast. I always think Eggy Bread sounds less elitist as French Toast makes me think it's Cordn Bleu😂😂😂

[@kunimitsune177]

I agree but 'french toast' sounds more like fat yank

[@RBernsCarter]

To me, eggy bread is always savoury and french toast is always sweet. Eggy bread is definitely my preference

[@maromania7]

Funnily enough it's not French as in "From France," it's French as in "Joseph French forgot the S when trying to write French's Toast in his popular cookbook." Eggy bread, poor knight's pudding, Spanish toast, German Toast, Bombay toast, there's 100 names for it because in reality it's an ancient Roman dish! In fact, in France it was called Roman Toast for hundreds of years, because the first record of the recipe is from 300's Rome.

The fishcan wick thing was and probably still is a popular lunch in the finnish army when you are in the woods. We called it battletuna😁

"Wanna give it a go?" "Not really" is a really good quote though. id say its better than "i woke up severely dehydrated". because it promotes boundaries, rather than dehydration. im only half joking here, drink some water peeps!

Similar note to the fishwick, if you have some paper towels you've used to clean up oil, you can keep them away and use them to light up charcoal for a grill or even a wood stove.

[@jameshamaker9321]

using a co2 foamer to make ice cream, i remember the guys from science channel, in a video on their uk feed did it. i watched a video for it on Netflix, when i still had an account. it was simple, cream, half and half, half a cup of sugar and milk. the only thing that was put in the freezer, with the lid on, was the container. the co2 was used to create a cold, foam made out of the cream mixture. the measurements are one cup cream, half a cup of half and half, half a cup of of milk and half a cup of sugar. what's supposed to happen is the cream is meant to thicken it, if it's refrigerated in a sealed bowl. do not freeze this. also a little coco powder can be used in the place of the sugar, as most coco mixes are presweetened. nestle strawberry milk powder works too. both are great for a flavored, eggless mousse like dessert. torani coffee or flavored syrups work, just not the ones that are citrus fruit.

Slurping is definitely NOT a part of Korean culture. That's more of a Japanese thing. The whole slurping they do in videos is for ASMR content reasons.

Here in Finland, tuna tinned in oil and cooked with a piece of toilet paper is a well-known late evening snack during military conscription when camping in the woods.

Who is doing the make-up these days? Jamie’s forehead looks very weird at 5:55. I didn’t really understand but then I saw Barry has it too. Once you see it..

[@youknowwho9247]

There's a make-up trend about "glowing up", which basically means people are making themselves shiny rather than matte on purpose. Might be ok under normal circumstances, but as a wedding photographer I can tell you it's an absolute nightmare when cameras and lights are involved.

[@MissingRaptor]

The rice starch cocktail reminds me of the different kinds of sake. There's one that is unfiltered and it has a creamy texture. I forget what it's called but I absolutely love it 🍶
